“Cloud computing is a group/crowd of unknown resources that are giving for a specific purpose to the user. It is a concept of pay per use of each IT services”.

Cloud computing refers to the use of Internet-based computing, storage and connectivity technology to deliver a variety of different services.

Example:

        Web-based email services like Gmail and Hotmail deliver a cloud computing service: users can access their email " in the cloud" from any computer with a browser and Internet connection, regardless of what kind of hardware is on that particular computer. The emails are hosted on Google's and Microsoft's servers, rather than being stored locally on the client computer.
